Perspective
The channel started broadcasting on 28 February 1990 as TRT-INT. It started using the Eutelsat I-F4, leased by Türk Telekom to Dutch company PTT Telecom Netherlands. In October, the channel moved to the Eutelsat II-F3 satellite.[1] A sub-service for Turkic-speaking countries in the former USSR (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan) started on 27 April 1992, as TRT Avrasya. TRT stopped broadcasting using Intelsat on 19 October 1994, moving to Türksat after that.[1]
On 5 November 1996, TRT-INT started broadcasting from the Türksat 1C satellite. On 25 July 1999, the channel started broadcasting to Asia and Oceania, using the Thaicom 3 and Optus B3 satellites. Later, on 7 June 2000, the channel started covering North America using Telstar-5. In addition to the television channel were radio stations Voice of Turkey and TRT-FM.[1]
Since its inception, the channel has had wide distribution in European countries where a sizable Turkish diaspora exists. By the early 2000s, its primary markets were Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland, and, to a lesser extent, Denmark, Romania, Bulgaria and Macedonia.[1]
On 8 May 2009, following the renaming of the old TRT Türk channel to TRT Avaz, TRT Int renamed, inheriting the name TRT Türk from the Turkic channel. For this end, the channel's new identity was presented with a special banquet at Çırağan Palace attended by prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The relaunch night also featured live links to other locations around the world, including Moscow, where the Turkish delegation for the then-upcoming 2009 Eurovision Song Contest was present.[2]
